Introducing updates to sources for NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus

What’s changing

Ngoài những tính năng của NotebookLM đã được công bố cách đây vài tuầnwe’re excited to introduce additional updates that improve upon the NotebookLM user experience as it relates to sources. Starting today, you can:

• Use the new “Discover sources” functionality to find related sources from the web based on the topic you’re interested in. You can then add these sources to your notebooks, expanding your research and building more comprehensive notebooks.
• Use multimodal PDFs as sources with NotebookLM’s enhanced capability to understand all the content within PDFs, which includes text, images and graphs.

Who’s impacted

Admins and end users (18+)

Additional details

NotebookLM and NotebookLM Plus are available in 180+ regions where Gemini API is available and currently supports 35+ languages. For Audio Overviews, while you can upload sources from all supported languages, the spoken audio is currently only available in English.

Your uploads, queries and the model's responses are not used to train models and are not reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used for product improvement without permission. Your data remains your data and any files uploaded, queries and responses are not shared outside your organization’s trust boundary.

Users can only upload sources from Workspace that they have permission to access. Furthermore, they can control who has access to their notebooks and set more granular permissions within each.
